Halloween is a colourful and mysterious event celebrated with great enthusiasm every year worldwide. Here is what you need to know about this fun and historical tradition:
Historical Origins of Halloween
"Halloween" is a shortened form of the phrase "All Hallows' Eve". There are different opinions about the origins of this special day. While some historians argue that Halloween was influenced by the Celtic harvest festival Samhain and became Christian over time, others claim that it is a tradition of purely Christian origin.
However, what is certain is that this tradition has been celebrated in Ireland and Scotland for centuries and was brought there by the Irish who migrated to North America in the early 19th century.
What are the Halloween Traditions?
One of the most well-known traditions of Halloween is that children wear costumes and go door to door collecting candy. The origin of this tradition is probably based on an old Christian custom called "soiling". In this custom, people, especially children, would go door to door and pray for the dead in exchange for special cakes called "soul cakes".Another important tradition is making Jack-o'-lanterns. These lanterns, made of pumpkins today, were originally carved from turnips. According to belief, these lanterns were used to keep evil spirits away. In addition, candles were lit in homes to help the spirits of the dead return to their homes.
The tradition of wearing costumes comes from the belief that it protects against ghosts that roam the world on Halloween night and want revenge. People would wear costumes to avoid being recognized by these ghosts.
